Graduate

I had my first graduate come to Salt Lake City for graduation on the 18th of July!
It was great to finally meet her! Her name is Nancy Shaffer. She lives in Washington state and graduated in 2 years with her bachelors degree in elementary education! She was an amazing student!

Christmas in July

We had family come out for Christmas in July! We had a great time.

There were a couple people put in charge of each day.
The first day we went up to Brighton at a cabin and spent the day fishing, playing games, a special devotional and tons of fun!

The second day we went to Kearns waterpark and spent the day hanging out. Here are the pictures of the crazy boys who jumped off the high dive! Grant my brother got a bloody nose from jumping off the high dive. Kaleb who is only 2 went down the big waterslide all by himself!!

Brian jumping off the high dive!

The last day we were together we went to the Zoo! We had a blast!

Sunburned

Matt and I went waterskiing with family!
We had a great time!! Since it was my second time waterskiing I didn't have as much success as he did. We also got burnt to a crisp (we left those pictures out)!

Matt knee boarding!

Matt showing off his moves!

JaNae knee boarding!!! Yes, that is me!

Matt slaloming, look only one hand!

He is pretty good at this stuff!

If you will notice there are no pictures of me slaloming. I almost lost my shorts on the knee board. I wasn't about to loose anything else.

Dear, Deer!

Matt has found another Deer in his life! We live close to the mountains and there is a little patch of grass right behind one of the apartment buildings. Every time we drive past, Matt checks to see if there is a deer there. Usually there is one or two! A couple of times we have had our camera and so he has taken a few shots of the deer.

We love living close to the mountains. It is such beautiful scenery and reminds of of God's love and power.

Strechy Pants Softball

Go Strechy Pants!! It has been fun the past two summers to play in the ward softball team! What a great group of guys! We have some real sluggers!
